Homily given at the 9:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday, August 5, 2018,
the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ
the King Catholic Church. This is the fifth and final homily in a
series of homilies that began on July 8, 2018, on the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass.

Fr. Ed reviewed the amazing miracles of Exodus that
preceded today's first reading, which the Israelites
responded to with grumbling instead of gratitude. The provision of
food for the Israelites in the desert and the multiplication of the
loaves in the Gospel were meant to prepare
our hearts for the greatest bread miracle of all, the
Eucharist.

Fr. Ed reminds us that a Eucharistic spirituality is not just
about what you do, but about your attitude of heart, which should
be an attitude of gratitude. He calls us to respond to the works of
the Lord with trust and gratitude, even in the midst of the
challenges and scandals of the present day, and to keep our eyes
fixed on Jesus.

Keywords: worship, Eucharist, gratitude
